Is it a sin To live without To look within? I didn't know Which way to turn She had to go And so I've learned And now forever and a day I will wait In that Show-Me State Yes, Virginia, there's a world to see But without you, where can it be? I'm goin' to Kansas City, but that's just me On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee No need to worry I ain't in no hurry Missouri loves company Down each country lane I leave behind A little pain And as I cross The county line And every state In my mind I've got nothin' to lose Like St. Louis I got the blues Yes, Virginia, there's a world to see But without you, where can it be? I'm goin' to Kansas City, but that's just me
On a Greyhound bus from Tennessee No need to worry I ain't in no hurry Missouri loves company Minneapolis through Saint Paul The pain's the same and that ain't all I'm headin' north where my lover calls I'm not goin down like Niagara Falls I've got to do What's best for me That's finding you I'll travel on Near or far 'Til I find The place you are Yes, Virginia there's a world to see But without you, where can it be? I'm goin' to Kansas City, but that's just me All the way from Graceland, Tennessee (Thank you very much!) There's no need to worry I ain't in no hurry Missouri loves company (We miss you, Harry, oh yeah)
